I've been missing in action for over a month now...sort of...cause actually I do go online on a daily basis, but I just didn't feel like writing on my blog for a while...maybe it has something to do with being a full/time mom, college student and housewife at the same time? I think I just needed some time to get trough my final exams so I can completely dedicate myself to my other love - sewing, of course.
So, in the last month I've sewn a pair of Butterick pants - clover style, a pretty sumerry blue top from a Burda pattern, a self-drafted sleevless floral print top, a straight mid/length pink skirt & a pink halter top with elastic in the waist for a friend of mine...and I think that's about it...
Ooohhh, but I forgot to share my newest challenge: I am making a wedding dress! Me! A dear friend of mine is getting married next month and she asked me if I would make her a gown for her wedding, not the puffy Cinderella like dress, but more of a simple A-line one, with beaded lace in the waist and at the straps, with a hart shaped bodice. So, I drafted the pattern, I made a muslin, we altered it at the fitting and now I'm on my way to start cutting the beautiful fabric. I'll be taking lots of pictures and maybe I'll be able to organize them all in some kind of tutorial (just because I think it would be a new challenge for me).
Till then, I think I need to put some pictures on this blog, don't you think so? So I'll try to get my dear husband to take some pretty pictures of me in my new blouse and pants and I'll do a sum up post on everything I've sewn so far. Hopefully I'll do it tonight. If not, wait for it tomorrow.
Till then, have a great week and may the sewing mojo inspire you all! :D
